   Hi Vince,

   Standard spring hinges should do the job. (Home Depot) Is there a reason why you have to lift the door as it opens?

   *Cafe hinges lift when opening. Have not heard of a spring hinge that lifts. It would bind at the top till the door was 90 open and the top cleared the jamb. There is a bottom weather strip that retracts up when open and then snaps down when closed. This will allow the door to clear a rug inside the door.There are spring hinges for screen doors that are surface mount. It slams the door much like a spring mounted to jamb/door would. If you have kids, you might want to use a hydraulic closer found on alum. storm doors. Best of luck.

   Your thinking of rising butt hinges. These are handed and are common in england but rare in the us. I do have some but they are not for exterior use.

   I'm looking for self closing hinges for a screen door. I remember reading about some that raise the door as it is opened. Need to find the name of hinge and source.
   Thanks

   vince, i found a link for you, as a result of nigel's post. i had remembered seeing some of these used on front doors to clear carpeting.
